[DV8]

I just placed an order for a Panasonic AE700 front projector and started researching the best DVD player to match it. I wanted a player that could use the HDMI port on the AE700 which uses HDCP. I understand that HDMI has to incorporate HDCP as part of its spec.


Several DVD players output DVI as does my ATI Radeon video card without HDCP. Will these work on my Panny AE700? Can I use a DVD player that uses HDMI without HDCP (if they exist)? Are my choices restricted to DVD player that only outputs HDMI and HDCP?

HDMI specification should include DVI+HDCP. Isn't it the source that decides whether to send a C5 flagged content to the display based on the HDCP handshake (between source & display)? I do not think you will have anything to worry about on this front.
